We want it to be attractive to the right people, people who are aware there are risks and with the experience to appropriately handle themselves. We want people to see that test release are rewarding experiences to participate in, once you have the skills necessary to appropriately handle them. My silly skiing analogy was just the first thing that popped into my head. I feel the allure of the black diamon calling to me, but I'm sure as hell NOT attracted to black diamond trails because I'm very sure I'd seriously hurt myself trying to run one. I'm very content with my bunny slopes where I can't reach a life threatening downhill velocity. I could have used a white water canoeing analogy as well, though fewer people would have understood the analogy. Running a class III rapids in a tandem canoe is as potentially fun as it is dangerous, but I sure as hell wouldn't do it without first being very comfortable canoeing on flatwater and Class I and Class II rapids nor without scouting the section of river for myself if not with an experienced guide. If we really want to seriously brainstorm for new terminology, ideally we want a headline description that many people inuitively understand to mean "Fun if I'm appropriately skilled. Assurdly deadly if I'm an inexperienced thrill-seeker" -jef"I hear Fedora Test release installation will be a new event at next years X-treme games"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
